I thought you just needed to send two trucks in opposite directions through the internet tube.

This article is great, thanks OP! One of the things that always causes my head to shake is when people yatter on about the "newness" of the internet, or more recently "the cloud".

The internet isn't some virtual space that exists in the ether... it's made of real, physical stuff. And I'm pretty sure the root servers are old 8086's running out of Al Gore's basement linked via token ring.
